This building was originally built for Rosenthal & Large Clothing-Dry Goods-Shoes in 1907. A 1908 advertisement in the Chehalis Bee-Nugget announced their first annual clearance sale offering men’s and boys $10 suits for just $7.95. Women could take advantage of “greatly reduced” prices on dress goods, hosiery and corsets. The building was later home to Moore’s Men’s Store until the early 1990s and JJ’s Bridal & Formal/JC Penney Catalog until 2003 when the current business, Smith’s Mercantile opened. The building has storefront facades on Market Boulevard and Pacific Avenue.
